Face ID with Masks, a sudo vulnerability, and Apple's Privacy Labels

Listen Later

Apple is testing a new feature allowing users with Face ID iPhones to unlock them with their Apple Watch, if they're wearing masks. There's a vulnerability with the sudo command in various Unix distributions, including macOS. And we discuss how Apple's privacy labels have been abused already by developers.

Show Notes:

  • iOS 14.5 adds support for unlocking your iPhone with Apple Watch while wearing a face mask
  • About the security content of macOS Big Sur 11.2, Security Update 2021-001 Catalina, Security Update 2021-001 Mojave
  • 10-year-old Sudo bug lets Linux users gain root-level access
  • Recent root-giving Sudo bug also impacts macOS
  • I checked Apple’s new privacy ‘nutrition labels.’ Many were false.
  • Episode 166: Understanding Apple’s App Privacy Information
